This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’re proud to celebrate our very own nurse practitioner Emily Perfetto on being named the 2026 ACP of the Year for the Metro Region. 👏

With 14 years of experience in oncology and a passion for breast cancer care, Emily has made an incredible impact on our patients and community — from helping pioneer our high-risk program and coordinating care for more than 300 patients through the NY BRCA Center to supporting patients throughout treatment and survivorship.

Emily is a dedicated patient advocate, mentor and champion for the patients and families she serves.

Join us in congratulating Emily on this well-deserved recognition. 💕

When Cindy completed her final chemotherapy treatment earlier this summer at Manhattan Eye, Ear & Throat Hospital, she not only got to ring the bell marking the end of her treatment journey...

She (and we!) were surprised to tears when her family walked in wearing custom T-shirts featuring Cindy herself, right down to her signature sunglasses and leather jacket standing tall, proud and strong.

Surrounded by the incredible care team that stood by her and her family every step of the way, Cindy rang the bell wearing her brand new custom tee to celebrate this unforgettable milestone.

Join us in congratulating Cindy on this incredible moment, and shoutout to her family for putting together these awesome T-shirts! ♥️

Excited to announce that we have received a $1 million donation from the Roy Henry Glover Memorial Trust to support the expansion of Northwell Health's Oculofacial Plastics to East 60th Street!

Under the leadership of Allison Coombs, DO, MS, director of oculofacial plastic surgery at Lenox Hill Hospital the practice offers both reconstructive and elective procedures affecting the eyelids, orbit, tear duct system and surrounding facial structures.

The practice also performs minimally invasive transorbital procedures in collaboration with neurosurgeons to access tumors, aneurysms and abnormalities near the skull base through the eye socket area.

Today as I ring this bell, it signals the close of one chapter and the start of another.

I ring once for all that I have endured, I ring twice to celebrate today and I ring once more for the future.

Cindy rang the bell surrounded by the incredible care team that was there for her and her family every step of the way.

Join us in congratulating Cindy on this incredible moment and wishing her all the best on the road ahead!! GO CINDY!

18,000 surgeries and counting!

Last week, we celebrated two major milestones here at MEETH:

✅ Surpassing 18,000 surgeries in 2025
✅ Earning an SRC Center of Excellence Designation for Hand Surgery—our fifth SRC designation

These achievements reflect the dedication, collaboration and expertise of our surgeons, nurses, clinical teams, leaders and support staff who make exceptional patient care possible every single day.

While Hand Surgery remains a cornerstone of our work, these milestones were made possible by teams across MEETH, including Orthopedics, General Surgery, Gynecology, Urology, Ophthalmology and ENT.

Thank you to every team member whose commitment to quality, safety and innovation continues to drive our growth and success! 🙌
